Fashion and Economy.

Every change of season brings new
pleasures and new cares. As autumn
drops her royal robes of crimson and
gold so we lay aside the garments and
customs that tended to outdoor life,
and draw in our forces from communion
with external nature. With many a
sigh over the pleasant associations OF
the summer, the housekeeper packs
away her musllns, and shakes out her
woolens ready for the biting blasts of
winter. Thick curtains shut out the
wlntry cold; warm rugs are spread be-
fore the glowing CRATE, and bits of
bright hangings, here and there. make
one forget the brown earth and gray
sky which accompany the shortening
days.
The thrifty matron adapts her old
garments to new styles, and frequently
the last state OF suit or cloak is better
than the first. The addition of plain
coachman's cape to outside tight-ttting
garments, is universal. When made OF
plush with cuffs to match. they give an
air OF distinction to a Newmarket or
any long, tight-fitting cloak. The cape
will be useful for spring wear detached
from the cloak, either made of plush or
the material of the dress. But few
hoods are seen except on children's
garments.
New wraps and cloaks are generally
dolman shaped with tight-titting back
tied underneath. in front. The back
may be either longer or shorter than
the loose hanging front. Many are
weighted down with jet. which. in some
cases, covers The upper portion and
edges like coat of mail, ami is about
